FIELD OF THE PRESENT SUBJECT MATTER

The present subject matter relates to a pesticidal mixture thatcomprises (i) an anthranilamide compound of formula (I); (ii)fluensulfone; optionally (iii) a strobilurin fungicide; and furtheroptionally (iv) a neonicotinoid insecticide.

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT SUBJECT MATTER

Crop protection is critical from early stages of crop development.Preventing pests and diseases at the root of the crop during rootdevelopment leads to increased crop health and yield. Young roots aremost sensitive and there is a need to develop multi-functional mixtureswith broad spectrum activity against pests and diseases which affect thecrop during the crop's early developmental stages.

Roots are highly affected by nematodes, insects and pathogens at thelocus of the plant.

Anthranilamide compounds of formula (I) are a class of insecticides thatprovides control through action on the ryanodine receptor. Thesecompounds activate this receptor, leading to the unregulated loss ofstored calcium. This causes impaired regulation of muscle contraction.

Fluensulfone(5-chloro-2-(3,4,4-trifluorobut-3-en-1-ylsulfonyl)-1,3-thiazole) is anematocide which has a significantly reduced environmental impact withlow toxicity to non-target insects and mammals. Fluensulfone's mode ofaction is distinct from currently available nematicides and thereforepresents a promising new chemical entity for crop protection.

Insecticide and fungicide are also required for improving rootdevelopment.

Strobilurin fungicides are of QoI inhibitors, which act to inhibit therespiratory chain at the level of Complex III. Strobilurins aregenerally contact fungicides.

Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides which act on the centralnervous system of insects, blocking an acetylcholine receptor. They area class of synthetic compounds based on the naturally occurring compoundnicotine. Neonicotinoids are among the most widely used insecticidesworldwide.

There is a need in the art for pesticidal active ingredients which areeffective against a broad spectrum of pests, such as for example,nematodes, insects and fungi.

There is a need in the art to develop a broad-spectrum treatment whichis effective for controlling multi-pest attacks on crops in a simple andeffective way.

There is a need in the art to find a simple and uniform solution forprotecting a crop at the critical stage of its growth, for improving thedevelopment of the root system and for promoting better and moreefficient of rooting in crop.

It is an object of the present subject matter to provide mixtures which,at a reduced amount of active compounds applied, have improved activityagainst pests.

The present subject matter provides a pesticidal mixture comprising: (i)an anthranilamide compound of formula (I)

Such kits may comprise, inaddition to the aforementioned active components, one or more additionalactive and/or inactive ingredients, either within the providedpesticidal composition or separately.

As noted above, the compositions, kits and methods described hereinexhibit a synergistic effect.

Prophetic Examples

Experiments may be carried out to determine the synergistic effect ofthe pesticidal mixtures and compositions composition which comprises amixture of a) an anthranilamide compound of formula (I) such aschlorantraniliprole and b) fluensulfone.

A pesticidal composition may be prepared by thoroughly mixing ananthranilamide compound of formula (I) such as chlorantraniliprole(weight %) with fluensulfone (weight %).

Further experiments may be carried out to determine the synergisticeffect of the pesticidal mixtures and compositions composition whichcomprises a mixture of a) an anthranilamide compound of formula (I) suchas chlorantraniliprole b) fluensulfone, c) a strobilurin fungicide suchas azoxystrobin and d) a neonicotinoid insecticide such as thiamethoxam.

Different concentrations of each of the active ingredients may beapplied to different pests such as nematodes, insects and fungi. In someexamples sugar cane may be infected with at least one of the abovepests. The percent control may be determined some time after treatment.

The observed percent control of the pesticidal composition againstnematodes is expected to be higher than the expected percentage controlaccording to Colby's equation. Therefore, the pesticidal compositioncomprising an anthranilamide compound of formula (I) such aschlorantraniliprole (weight %) and fluensulfone (weight %) is expectedto show synergistic effect against nematodes.

The observed percent control of the pesticidal composition againstnematodes is expected to be higher than the expected percentage controlaccording to Colby's equation. Therefore, the pesticidal compositioncomprising an anthranilamide compound of formula (I) such aschlorantraniliprole (weight %), fluensulfone (weight %), a strobilurinfungicide such as azoxystrobin (weight %) and a neonicotinoidinsecticide such as thiamethoxam (weight %) is expected to showsynergistic effect against nematodes.

In some embodiments, the mixture issynergistic for regulating plant growth. In some embodiments, themixture is synergistic for controlling nematodes.

In the field of agriculture, it is often understood that the term“synergy” is as defined by Colby S. R. in an article entitled“Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicidecombinations” published in the journal Weeds, 1967, 15, p. 20-22. Theaction expected for a given combination of two active components can becalculated as follows:

$E = {X + Y - \frac{XY}{100}}$

The action expected for a given combination of three active componentscan be calculated as follows:

$E = {X + Y + Z - \frac{{XY} + {XZ} + {YZ}}{100} + \frac{XYZ}{10000}}$

The action expected for a given combination of four active componentscan be calculated as follows:

$E = {X + Y + Z + W - \frac{{XY} + {XZ} + {XW} + {YZ} + {YW} + {ZW}}{100} + \frac{{XYZ} + {XYW} + {XZW} + {YZW}}{10000} - \frac{XYZW}{1000000}}$

in which E represents the expected effect, e.g. percentage of pestcontrol, for the combination of the active ingredients at defined doses(for example equal to x, y, z and w respectively), X is the effect, e.g.percentage of pest control, observed for compound (I) at a defined dose(equal to x), Y is the effect, e.g. percentage of pest control, observedfor compound (II) at a defined dose (equal to y), Z is the effect, e.g.percentage of pest control, observed for compound (III) at a defineddose (equal to z), W is the effect, e.g. percentage of pest control,observed for compound (IV) at a defined dose (equal to w). Here,efficacy or percent inhibition is determined in %. 0% means efficacythat corresponds to the Control, i.e., as if no treatment had beenapplied. Whereas, a percent inhibition of 100% means that no infectionis observed. When the percent inhibition observed for the combination isgreater than E, there is a synergistic effect. When the percentinhibition observed for the combination is equal to E, there is anadditive effect and wherein the percent inhibition observed for thecombination is lower than E, there is an antagonistic effect.
